Really nervous about tomorrow



Recommended Posts

I use to have a lot of issues with my band, as we all possibly did. But one of the biggest issues is if I waited to long to eat I would have pains in the area where my band was. It would be so bad sometimes that I would have to take a pain pill. It would also happen at times when I wasn't hungry.

So I have really had a hard time with not eating, because I first I feel like I'm becoming sick to my stomach, then the pains some. I wish I had thought to have them to remove all the Fluid from the band last week at my Dr's visit. I am so scared about tomorrow. I honestly cheated during my pre-op, but it's a while nothing thing to eat before someone opens your stomach.

I'm also a therapist, and I couldn't take the day off. So tomorrow is gonna be super busy. I have to find the time to drink broth or tea. Cause I know I will need something hot. Please keep me in your prayers yall. I have been thinking about this day for the last 2 weeks. So scared.

My surgery was on July 28. I won't lie. The worst part of the revision was the pain where the port was. Remember, it was supposed to be a permanent fixture so taking it out causes a lot of stress on the body. Otherwise, the whole surgery was a piece of cake. I'd do it again tomorrow if I had to do it over again! Be encouraged. Your future has a much brighter outlook beginnig tomorrow!

aloudwhisper Are you revising to a sleeve? or just removing it? Good luck either way seems like you will be happy to get rid of your band.

Embrace not what I want to hear weeks before my revision from band to sleeve but I will be prepared.

You'll be fine if you're careful. It was an area about the size of a fist that hurt like a son of gun for more than a week if I moved the wrong way. Otherwise, I swear, Jake it was the easiest thing. Good luck!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
